THE SILENT TOMB SPEAKS

Dana Rongione

I watched in horror as they drove the nailsThrough His hands and through His feetHe hung His head and prayed, "Father, forgive"As I stared in disbeliefCries of victory and cries of painFilled the darkening skyThe shout "It is finished" rose above the noiseAnd I saw my Savior die

His bruised and bloodied body was wrappedAnd laid within the graveThe stone was rolled in front of the doorSeeming to seal the world's fateFor three days and three nights, the soldiers stood guardAs silence filled the airThe silent tomb stood as a symbol of defeatTo all who passed by there

The silent tomb speaks of anguish and sorrowThe silent tomb cries, "All hope in now lost"The silent tomb sings a sad song of grief and painI don't know about you, but the silent tombSpeaks volumes to me

But on the next morning, a light filled the skyAnd the earth began to quakeThe giant stone moved, and the soldiers both swoonedAs their knees began to shakeFrom the darkness within, my blessed Savior appearedHolding the keys of death and hellHe told Mary to run and spread the news far and wide"Jesus is alive and well!"

Now the silent tomb speaks of light in the darknessThe silent tomb cries, "My God is alive!"The silent tomb sings a sweet song of victoryI don't know about you, but the silent tombSpeaks volumes to me.

Well I thank God for allowing me to stumble upon your blog one day... It sure has helped me and I have told all of my friends about you and they too became followers. I would love to hear how it goes though! One day you need to record it :)

Thank you, Felycia, for you kind words and recommendation. The Lord has given me three songs I hope to be able to record one day, but I'm afraid it's a project that may have to wait a while as it can be quite a costly endeavor. Still, I'm glad the words can be an encouragement to others. When the timing is right, the Lord will open all the right doors. Until then, I'll continue on as He leads. Thanks again!
